With 4 kids all wanting fast computers for games, I have supported MS alot. So I naturally began searhing for a OS that suited my needs, at the lowest possible cost....Therefore I found Linux.

I have been around the most of the Distros that offers a great GUI, since I found that learning the terminal by heart is not one if my strong sides..

So here I am! Thank you for offering this great distro completely free of charge! I have tried one of your early versions, but "fell back" on Ubuntu for a while...Know I am determined that Mint is going to be my chosen one. So I will watch and learn for these greats forums!
